The Mohawk (Rivers of America)

xv, 367 pp. "One of the Rivers of America series written as part of a government work project for writers during the Great Depression. The history of the Mohawk River in New York started with the Dutch West India Company in 1635 and was the scene of many battles during the French & Indian War and the Revolution. The river was the early gateway to the West and the site of early industrialization. Fascinating history, largely forgotten."
